Merano

Alpine-Mediterranean spa town

On October 16, 1870, Merano witnessed a historic moment: Empress Elisabeth of Austria, better known as Sisi, arrived in the city by the Passer River with her entourage of 102 people. The recently opened Brenner railway brought the Empress to Trauttmansdorff Castle, where maids, governesses, ladies-in-waiting, and many other servants were in her service for months.

During her stay, Sisi enjoyed the mild air of Merano, going for walks, horseback riding, and hiking, all while hoping for the recovery of her ailing daughter, Marie Valerie, who soon regained her health. The arrival of the Empress brought new glory to the spa town of Merano, founded in 1836, and thrust it into the spotlight of the European aristocracy. Although Dr. Bernhard Mazegger Sr. had already established the first guesthouse, "Freihof," in 1840, it was the imperial visit that marked the definitive breakthrough.

Soon, wealthy travelers, spa guests, and the elite from across Europe – from America to Russia – flocked to Merano. Over the decades, magnificent villas were built, along with the famous Kurhaus, the city theater, and the spa house. In 1873, the city’s streets were illuminated by gas lighting, casting Merano in a new light. Merano became not only renowned as a healing spa destination but also a fashionable retreat for those seeking luxury, health, and culture. The city now stood as a symbol of elegance, wellness, and worldly charm.
